Trump claims that he will be arrested next week (NPR)

The claim comes as a New York prosecutor considers charging him in connection with hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

On his platform Truth Social on Saturday morning, Trump said that "illegal leaks" indicated that he will be arrested on Tuesday and he went on to call for protests. Former President Donald Trump claims in a social media post that he will be arrested next week.

Mr Trump did not say he had been formally notified of forthcoming charges and provided no evidence of leaks from the district attorney's office. Grand jury proceedings are not public.

Trump’s US Secret Service detail would deliver him to the Manhattan district attorney’s office for fingerprinting and then taking mugshots in offices of the district attorney’s detective squad. While Trump offered no details on why he expects to be indicted, his legal team has been anticipating that it will happen soon and has been preparing behind the scenes for the next steps. The discussions have been about how to navigate the potential indictment for a criminal charge by a New York county grand jury and the choreography around the possibility of an unprecedented arrest of a former president of the United States.

If Donald Trump Is Indicted, Here's What Would Happen Next in the ... (TIME)

Former President Donald Trump says his indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney for alleged hush money payments is imminent, claiming on Saturday that ...

“If this case is still ongoing, during his run for president, you could face a very unprecedented and challenging situation,” Mariotti says. If indicted, Trump would have to go through the same process, where he would be booked into jail, finger-printed, and a “mug shot” taken. “It’d be very hard to find jurors who haven’t been exposed to the news.” Although rarely used, one method to combat this is for a judge to sequester jurors, limiting their exposure to outside influence or information. “Sometimes we see a huge flood of cameras and reporters at the front of the courthouse,” he says. “You would make an appointment basically, to bring your client in to be booked and fingerprinted,” Wu says. “There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Joe Tacopina told “Most defendants, even if they’re famous, are often not known by prospective jurors or they don’t have a certain opinion about that person. I think it’s safe to say that Donald Trump is different.” Wu doesn’t anticipate many unusual logistics in the procedures if Trump is indicted, but believes that security would be heightened—similar to measures for other high-profile political figures or celebrities. The hush-money deal, allegedly crafted weeks before his presidential win, could also put Trump in jeopardy of violating campaign finance laws. Trump was invited to testify before a grand jury in early March. The offer to testify, which Trump declined, is required before any indictment.

Trump says he will be arrested Tuesday, calls on supporters to protest (CNBC)

Former President Donald Trump took to social media and said he expects to be arrested Tuesday.

Law enforcement agencies across New York have been [making security arrangements](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/17/trump-grand-jury-new-york-law-enforcement-prepping-for-indictment.html) in the case that the former president is criminally charged. He urged his supporters to protest on his behalf — a call that is reminiscent of the time the former president encouraged thousands to flock to Washington, D.C., during the insurrection on Jan. "No one tells us anything, which is very frustrating," Tacopina told CNBC. Trump said he learned about his supposedly imminent arrest through leaks from the "corrupt" Manhattan District Attorney's Office. "THEY'RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. "PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"

Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, another declared candidate, did not address the investigation while campaigning in South Carolina. Trump’s post cited “illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office”. McCarthy said he would direct relevant Republican-led House committees “to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions”. The search also proved a fundraising boon.

"He needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds." Trump in 2018 initially disputed knowing anything about the payment to Daniels. Trump, who was in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday and attended the NCAA wrestling championships, leads his early rivals for his party's nomination. Bragg's office last year won the conviction of the Trump Organization on tax fraud charges. "He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence." Bragg's office earlier this month invited Trump to testify before the grand jury probing the payment, which legal experts said was a sign that an indictment was close. We will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly and speak publicly only when appropriate." A spokesman for Trump said the former president had not been notified of any arrest. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal campaign finance violations tied to his arranging payments to Daniels and another woman in exchange for their silence about affairs they said they'd had with Trump, among other crimes. Trump has said he will continue campaigning even if he is charged with a crime. the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week," Trump wrote on Truth Social. House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, on Saturday decried the investigation.

Can Donald Trump still be elected president if he's indicted? (The Independent)

If Mr Trump is charged with a crime, it would be the first time an investigation into his inner circle actually impacted the former president himself.

If Mr Trump was unable to avoid that outcome, it would almost certainly lead to his impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment, which allows the Cabinet to remove a president who is unable to perform their duties. Were conviction on state charges to occur alongside a Trump election victory, it would likely lead to a massive legal fight to determine whether there was a way for the former president to worm his way out of serving time. Even if he were tried and convicted in one of the so-called “quick trials” he has repeatedly cheered China’s government for operating in the cases of drug offences, Mr Trump could still run the entirety of his presidential campaign from a prison cell.

And the political dynamics of the legal ‘Get Trump’ story are intriguing – in that they end up both suiting Biden and Trump. And then nothing changes and Americans will probably still have to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential elections. In the coming days, further indictments and allegations against Trump are expected – chiefly over his ‘hoarding’ of classified official documents at Mar-a-Lago. Yet the prosecutions and the stories around them go on and on, like a sort of tabloid Huit Clos. Team Trump argue that the 45th President’s corrupt political enemies and the deep state have ‘weaponised’ the justice system against him. But there’s also no denying that eight years of attempts to prosecute him on manifold fronts – Russia, Ukraine, tax, incitement to violence, hush money, fraud, and more – have so far failed, even if he has been impeached twice.

Bragg’s office appears poised to bring criminal charges against Trump in connection with a hush-money payment made to a porn actress, Stormy Daniels, at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign. Though a person familiar with the Trump operations said they were not actively organizing protests, Trump’s comments raised alarms about how his followers might be incited to act. Bragg added that “as with all of our investigations, we will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly, and speak publicly only when appropriate.” In his email, Bragg didn’t identify Trump by name, referring only to the “public comments surrounding an ongoing investigation by this office.”

Alvin Bragg is expected to bring an indictment against Trump this week over hush payments to adult actor Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Trump received a standing ovation in Tulsa and held up a defiant fist as he arrived at the wrestling event while fans cheered. If any indictment is handed down, it is likely to claim the payments were an illegal use of campaign finances. Trump made no mention of a criminal indictment and arrest at the Tulsa event. On Saturday afternoon, Trump supporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago home and country club in Florida to show their support. He added: “We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York… Trump talked with fans between matches, but reporters were kept away.

US attorney, who is likely to arrest Donald Trump, got funding from ... (Business Today)

Trump is facing a probe for allegedly paying a hush-money to adult film star Stormy Daniels and reports suggest that he may be arrested by next week.

Soros donated the money to the organisation as part of a $40 million drive to back district attorney campaigns across the country, Dail Mail reported citing a report in January 2023. "Now Bragg could arrest Trump by inflating a misdemeanor while he lets violent criminals walk and ravage NYC," he said. According to UK's Daily Mail, Color Of Change PAC, a civil rights advocacy organisation in the US, received $1 million from Soros to support Bragg's candidacy in 2021. The probe against Trump is being led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who according to reports got support from a political action committee that took money from George Soros. Trump also claimed that the leaders of the Manhattan District Attorney's office were funded by Soros, though he did not name the officials. Charlie Kirk, founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, said that Bragg was preparing to arrest Trump under a misdemeanor charge that the federal prosecutors refused to pursue.
